Anyone leaving their car at the attraction will now have to pay 50p for up to four hours and £1 for more than four hours.

An Astbury Mere Trust spokesman said: "The pay-and-display machine at Astbury Mere Country Park is now live. Charges are either 50p for up to four hours or £1 for over four hours until the gates are closed (no overnight parking). Every penny raised will go towards maintenance and improvement of the country park.

"For regular visitors there is also the option to purchase an annual parking permit. Normally these would cost £25 per annum but as there are only a few months left in 2018 the permit will also include 2019 and cost £33."
